Eyes Like Yours

Chapter Eleven - Thanks For The Sex

It was Alice's brother. Edward. Jasper's best man. Well that's who he was to everyone else in the room.

But to me, he was someone else.

Someone with emerald eyes.

Anthony.

Holy Shit.

This was a dream. This was just some sick and twisted dream. That's what it was. Wasn't it?

Nope, it was real. It was 'in the flesh' real.

I think I'm going to be sick. Maybe even pass out. Because everything right now is just so fucked up. And I don't have to want to deal with it right now.

And to top things off, he's looking at me. It's like looking into a mirror, because I'm pretty sure the look of confusion on his face is mirroring mine. I wonder if he feels like puking too.

Probably not. I'm the one who knows something he doesn't. Something huge.

And now, he's not the only one looking at me. There's a lot of people looking at me, and they're all probably wondering why I've stopped. Can they tell that I'm feeling a little green around the gills?

"Bella," I hear someone hissing.

I look to the side, its my mother. "What are you doing?" she whispered.

And that's when I realise what I'm doing. What I'm really doing. I'm stalling my best friends wedding. If I keep it up any longer, I'll ruin it.

I shake my head, and keep walking. I ignore Anthony's, or should I say Edward's, stares, and just keep my eyes to the front. I threw on the cheeriest smile I could muster, and continued on as if nothing had happened.

Everybody's eyes are now on Alice, so it looks like they've already fobbed off my slightly bizarre behaviour. Thank god. I hate being the centre of attention.

I took my place next to Rosalie, and as we watched Alice making her way towards us, she leant in just a smidge.

"Are you high?" she asked, her smile perfectly intact.

"There's a big possibility," I answered, just loud enough for her to hear.

Rose stifled her laugh before speaking again. "Well, whatever it is you're on, I want some. Because this kid is driving me nuts," she rubbed her hand across her belly. "And I hope to god this ceremony doesn't take too long, coz damn, I gotta pee," she whispered.

I giggled at her, but soon quietened down when Alice reached us. I stepped forward and took her bouquet. Both Alice and Carlisle were looking at me in worry.

"Are you feeling okay? You frightened us back there," Alice asked quietly.

"Oh yea, just felt a bit dizzy, but I'm perfectly fine now," I tried my damned hardest to look fine. I think I'm pulling it off pretty well.

"Are you sure?" Carlisle was now whispering. "You do look a little pale?"

From the corner of my eye, I could see Rose making hand gestures at me; her way of telling us to get a move on. I wanted to tell her to piss in her pants, but she'd probably slap me. Then the wedding would really be ruined.

"I'm fine. Now lets get on with the wedding," I grinned.

I stepped back then, letting Carlisle finish his fatherly duties with Alice. A kiss to the cheek, and then he was making his way to Esme, and sitting back to watch his only daughter marry.

During the ceremony I kept my eyes locked on Alice and Jasper. Looking at Anthony aka Edward was not a smart thing to do. I felt his eyes drilling holes in to me the whole time, but I didn't slip once. I was frigging proud of myself.

After the rings and first kiss as husband and wife were exchanged, the room leapt into an applause. People were cheering, laughing and dabbing at their watery eyes. But Esme took the cake. She was the stand out with her downright bawling.

Soon after, we were making our way outside to the cars, so that we could be taken back to the Cullen property for the reception.

After throwing some rice at the happy couple, and a handful from me at Emmett's face just for the sake of it, we piled into the limo's. And because god loved me oh so much today, I was stuck in one with Anthony. Oh shit, I mean Edward. Thank god Rose, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle were in the car with us. This was still going to be awkward though.

"Bella, this is Edward," Esme was the one who went and opened her trap. Why couldn't she just be quiet.

I had to look at him, otherwise the others would know something was up. And this isn't really the right time or place to spill the beans. I was still trying to get over the first lot of beans that had been spilled. Edward Cullen was my perfectly perfect Anthony, and also the father of my child.

"Hey," I smiled a little at him. I gotta put on a good show for the others.

"Hi," he said back, a little too slow for my liking.

And then it was over, we looked away, and carried on conversations with other people.

I didn't know what to think or feel when I spotted her walking down the aisle. I never expected to see Izzie again. So seeing her here at my own sisters wedding knocked me for a six.

And I'd been right from the very beginning. Izzie wasn't her name. I think it's Bella. I'd heard bits and pieces about this Bella over the last 2 years; I knew she was the daughter of Chief Swan and that she now ran my mothers catering company. But that was it. I never expected her to be Izzie. The girl who had made me really think about what I wanted in life.

This was all so insane. After two years, I'd somehow managed to finally put that night behind me. I wont lie though; she was always lingering in the back of my mind. But I'd finally come to terms with the fact that I'd never seen her again.

But now here she is. Thrown back into my life like a grenade.

Now, I can definitely say that this was the last thing I'd expected when I'd decided to move back to Forks. I still wasn't sure why I'd decided to come back to this tiny town. There wasn't really anything of importance here for me. Only my family. My family is important to me, and I truly did miss them. Then when my father mentioned that he could get me a position at the hospital; id jumped at the chance of coming back.

Looks like I'd made the right decision. She's here.

Our eyes met, and she completely froze. She had this look of utter shock on her face. I wished I knew what she was thinking. Was she just as confused as I was?

Did she want to touch me as much as I wanted to touch her?

No, I shouldn't be thinking about her like that. I should be mad at her for taking off like she did. Believe me, I am frustrated with her for doing that.

I don't know how long our eyes were locked, but it felt like forever. I think it may have only been ten seconds in reality. Soon, she ripped her eyes away from me, and looked down at some woman at her side.

She didn't look at me anymore after that. I bore holes into her the entire time though. I took in her form; she'd changed a bit. She'd filled out a bit since the last time we'd seen each other; her curves standing out more and breasts seeming more fuller. She looked amazing. She still looked good enough to eat.

My mother introduced us once we were in the limo. We'd both gave simple hello's and that was that. She didn't speak or look at me again. It kind of pissed me off.

She avoided me like the plague at the reception. But I kept my eyes on her; waiting for the moment she was alone and I could pounce. We had to go through dinner, speeches and first dances before I got my chance though.

She was standing with Rosalie in front of the table that held the wedding cake. Of course, Rosalie was shovelling said cake down her gob like it was her last meal. That woman had been such a bitch over the years. I'd do anything to be able to go over there and call her fat heffa. I know I can't though. She's pregnant and her hormones are probably so out of wack that she'd probably rip my balls off, and then I'd never get the chance to have children of my own.

"Don't even think about it," Emmett said calmly from beside me.

"What?" I looked at him.

"Bella. I've seen the way you've been looking at her. Like you want to devour her," he said to me. "I know how you are with women, so I'm putting my foot down right now. No. Don't even think about it," he smirked.

I snorted at my older brother as I swallowed the last mouthful of my Scotch. "She's a big girl. Why don't you let her make that decision," I smirked back at him.

From the corner of my eye, I noticed that Bella was finally alone. Rosalie was making her way over towards us. That was my cue to go. I kept my eyes trained on Bella as she made her way over to the bar. Good thing I was in need of a refill.

"I'm going to get another drink," I waved my glass at Emmett as I started to walk off.

"Get me one too," he called out to me.

"Get your own," I retorted.

Her back was facing me, so she had no idea that I was creeping up. I was so close now that I could smell her. And oh man, did she smell good. I'd missed her scent like crazy. She smelt exactly the same as she had that night. Freesia's and Strawberries. Mmm. Yes.

I couldn't let her know that she was already getting to me though. I leant forward and spoke softly into her ear.

"There's just not a proper ring to 'thanks for the sex,' is there?"

I steered clear of him for as long as I could. But the harder I tried not to look at him, the harder it became to not look at him. How you could you not look at him. He has this air about him, and it just draws you in. Well, that's what it was like for me.

"He's very good looking, isn't he?" Rose said to me. I almost didn't understand her with her mouth full of cake.

"Who?" I tried to play dumb.

"You know who," she scoffed at me. "Don't try to deny it. You've had your eye on him all day," she laughed.

"Yeah, he's nice looking. But so what. Plenty of guys are," I shrugged

"Am I going to have to tell Alice about this?" Rose huffed. "You know how very excited she would be to hear news like this".

My eyes grew wide. No way. I could not have Alice sticking her nose into this. She would just think it's another reason for her to play matchmaker. But there was so much more to all of it. The was a small child involved. That was hard enough.

"Fine, I think he's very attractive," I snapped. "Just promise me you won't say anything to Alice," I practically begged.

Rose just laughed. "I wont say anything. I just wanted you to admit that you've been perving on him all day," she said triumphantly.

I rolled my eyes at her, and she walked off; a smug smile still on her face.

I really needed another drink. Especially if I were to get through the rest of this day. I ordered a drink and sculled it down in one shot. It burned my throat going down. But it calmed me. Even when I felt a presence behind me, I felt calm.

I knew it was him.

"There's just not a proper ring to 'thanks for the sex,' is there?" he said in soft voice as he leant in.

I spun around quickly, coming face to face with him. It was hard to say if he was smirking, or smiling. It must have just been something in between. I opened my mouth to speak, but I closed it again. What the hell was I supposed to say?

"I know it was low of me to leave without saying goodbye," I winced. "And leaving that note wasn't that great of an idea either".

"You think?" he said sarcastically.

"Did you just come over here to be a jerk?" I frowned.

"No…...I guess I just wanted you to know that you kind of hurt my feelings, Bella," he smiled a little.

My eyes widened; surprised that he would even admit that. I lowered my head; feeling even more ashamed of myself. I really didn't want him to think that it was all about the sex. I'm not that kind of girl. I'd really felt something for him that night, and it hadn't just been lust.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I feel horrible about the whole thing," I started. "I'd never done anything like that before, and when I woke up, I guess I just freaked out a bit. I figured if I just left before you woke up, we wouldn't have to worry about the awkwardness," I finished explaining.

I hoped he wouldn't hate me forever. I wonder how he was going to feel when he found out about Sammy. Maybe I shouldn't tell him. Just say that he was someone else's. A kid would probably just ruin his life. But on the other hand, I really want my son to have a father.

"It's okay, I understand," Edward smiled at me.

Then he started laughing. "Is this real? I mean, are you really here? Or is it just in my imagination?" he grinned.

"I know what you mean. Things like this only happen in the movies, right!" I chuckled along with him.

We laughed for a few moments, but silence soon engulfed us. What now?

"So, are we supposed to tell the others that we already know each other?" he questioned me.

"Not today. Definitely not today," I said a little too quickly. "I don't want it to ruin Alice's day".

"Why would it ruin Alice's day?" Edward snorted.

"Believe me, it would," I muttered.

"Kay," he screwed his face up. He probably thought I was a bloody weirdo.

I sighed loudly. Is this where I leave this conversation? Should I just walk away now? It was then when I realised that he was leaning in close to me. Was he expecting something?

"Don't," I warned him. I wasn't really sure what I was warning him about though.

"Why not?" he reached out and touched my cheek.

"We can't. Especially here," I moved away from his touch.

He frowned, and this time he stepped away from me. "Sure. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable," Edward apologised.

I shook my head at him. "No Edward, I didn't mean it like that, and I wasn't uncomfortable," I assured him. "I just think we should talk about this at another time. Not here in front of prying eyes," I nudged my head over towards Emmett and Rosalie, who were obviously eyeing us.

He nodded in understanding. "Actually, Emmett's already warned me to stay away from you," he told me.

I raised my eyebrows, but smiled. "He means well," I shrugged. "But I can take care of myself," I pointed out.

"That's what I said," Edward grinned at me.

Oh god, he was already making me melt. That smile. That hair. Those amazing eyes that I dreamed of all the time. But I wasn't going to let myself fall. I had Sammy to think about in all this.

I had to have all that sorted out before I could even think about any kind of relationship with Edward Cullen.

A/N - I've noticed that some people post links to pictures relating to outfits and stuff worn by characters in their stories. I've decided that I'm going to give it go.

So, I've posted links to Alice's wedding gown, and Bella and Rosalie's bridesmaid dresses on my profile page.
